Might as well add a bug while I'm here, as PS1 isn't working.

AllGames.xml adds data as "Sony PlayStation" (which is technically the correct capitalization for the platform), but both the default platform name and scan-as name that LB uses is "Sony Playstation" without the capital S.

Mind either correcting the platform name or making the platform match case-insensitive? Thanks.

Hi Joe, thanks for the plugin and the recent updates to keep it working.

I just updated to the new version of the plugin - I'd manually added the RA badge to all the games that didn't get caught by the auto-match, or needed them re-adding after tweaking the item name to my preferences. All those custom adds are now gone, presumably due to the switch from directories/files to the new singular Added.xml file.

Any advice for converting all those over to the new format? No worries if not, I'm sure I can figure out some batch file / text manipulation stuff!

EDIT: Never mind, managed to get it figured out pretty easily. Get a list of titles, sanitize the & symbol, add them to Added.xml and rerun the updater

Personally i would love it if you could include your fanart feature in the header as i have been using it since the very beginning.

Also, can you please make the info section like in the new official releasse? I really like the clean look with text lines , screenshot scroll, info / screenshot toggle and everything.

Bascically i would love it if your theme would just have the current official details view + your fanart  / video header, that would be my ideal version of this theme.

I know it's a long shot but maybe If you are hesitant to do it perhaps you could release the themes file so we could do it ourselves?

To make it clear, I'm not the original author of the theme! I'm just fixing things as the original author no longer seems to be maintaining it.

If you just wanted the new default details view, you could probably copy GameDetailsView.xaml from the default theme (/LBThemes/Default/Views) into Lambda, but it wouldn't have the fanart background, or have fonts/design generally matching the rest of the theme. 

There's also no 'theme files' for LaunchBox themes, just the XAML data that would have to be edited by hand, or using a more professional-based WPF editor (Visual Studio, Blend, etc.). It's not like BigBox, which has the Community Theme Editor to generate the XAML files.

Spent some time rewriting Lambda's GameDetailsView today:

• Brought up to spec with the latest 12.7 changes, such as the new image/video carousel and all the missing fields
• Info pane at the bottom is much more condensed, taking up less room on the overall height

Still needs a bunch more fixes to go, but just wanted to show progress so far. For example, I've never used fanart backgrounds or MAME high score functionality, so that's something I need to investigate and test.

If there's anything you really want exposed as part of the options file, let me know, but should be able to finish this up in the next week or two.

Yeah, I've never really liked the game detail layout too much in Lambda, and the default revamp is the probably the kicker it needs.

I was only going to compile fixes rather than making more aesthetic changes, but I'll take a look if I get some free time.

As the theme hasn't been getting updates, and I've been fixing things locally as new features cropped up, I may as well fork and compile the fixes for everyone else.

@shadowfire, thanks for the stealth update that fixes Image View with LB 12.2.

Could I request that you also add two other key fixes posted in the past comments of this theme (list view date sorting / search bar filtering function)? Thanks in advance!

Nice one! I've been using my own custom theme for ES based on Angular for a while now, and seeing you make this video/theme has made me make the jump and try switching over from ES to LB. Excited to get started on theme creation!
